Homebrew Feathered Half-elf Species Details
Of Two Worlds
No one is quite sure where this phenomena started, but it is a sight to behold. Being the offspring of a half-elf and a kenku, you carry a mix of their traits. You look like a normal half-elf, fair skin and the pointed ears, but instead of hair, you have a soft down of feathers that mimic hair growth. The colors of the feathers usually match those of the kenku parent, but can vary occasionally.
A Cure For The Curse
The kenku were cursed to lose their voices and their creative spark. However, this bond has allowed this race to spare their offspring from this curse. These offspring are lively and full of wonder and curiosity. They do keep their parents ability of mimicking, albeit it is not as prominent
Names
You share the name traits of both races. You may have a human first name and the noises adopted by the kenku for your last, or vice-versa.
